Not sure about 50 miles & still want to experience the trail? Take on this friendlier challenge…

OVERVIEW
This 16.5-mile hike travels from Route 206 (Culvers Gap) to High Point State Park (Route 23) and takes an estimated 5-6 hours to complete. We have support stations along the way, every time the Appalachian Trail intersects with a paved road, a volunteer and support vehicle, will be there waiting. These support volunteers, assist hikers with water replenishment, medical attention, gear replacement (change of clothes, take a layer, lose a layer etc.). Most importantly, when you have reached your hiking goal or decide to no longer go on, these support vehicles are our rides back to the original starting point. Remember, unless you arrange an alternative mode of transportation, participants will stay with the group until all hikers are accounted for.

STEP 1: SET UP A CROWDRISE PAGE & FUNDRAISE.
We ask for a $50.00 donation from each hiker to register for the hike. We also ask that you raise money for your miles through our Crowdrise Team Fundraising Page. You can join our team and create your own fundraising page to share with family and friends. If each hiker raises an additional $250 we will achieve our goal of $30,000.
